Artisan Tour Requirements

📣 Call for Artists: Serious Creators Only

We’re inviting artists — whether hobbyists or professionals — who are deeply committed to their creative practice to join our upcoming art tour.

We are looking for work that demonstrates originality, intention, and a level of artistic skill. While we warmly welcome creators from all backgrounds, we are specifically curating for art, not general crafts.

What’s the difference? In short:

Art is about creative expression, personal vision, and aesthetic or conceptual impact. It is a form of self expression communicating emotions, ideas or visions.
Craft, while valuable, often focuses more on function, replication, technical skills or decorative techniques.

If your work tells a story, explores an idea, evokes emotion, or pushes boundaries — you’re exactly who we want to hear from.

✅ Accepted Art Forms May Include:

Paintings
Drawings
Printmaking
Sculpture
Photography
Digital art
Textile/fiber art
Ceramics
Art Designer Jewelry

🚫 Not Accepting:

Mass-production, resell items
What is only focused on functionality

In short: If your work speaks — in concept, form, or feeling — we want to hear it.

Apply only if you’re serious about your work and committed to sharing meaningful art with others. We’re here to build something authentic and inspiring.
